Big Tony Ragu (LF) Liwei Liao (RT) co owner of the Boba truck created a special Chinese Osmanthus Flower Tea (Chinese Osmanthus is a major ingredient in Jean Patou's "1000", the world's most expensive perfume.) for me to try out. Simply TEA-licious!
Liwei Liao and Michael Tsuan the Boba truck are capable of making over 60 combination of Tea. Each time made fresh to order in a special steeping machine that uses high grade filtering to deliver one delicous cup of tea. We have been to the Boba truck many times and have had more than 15 combination so far. They have even named a tea after me. You will hear more on that when we go behind the scenes with this incredible truck on Sunday Dec 12th at the Korea Daily's Holiday Charity Festival.
Sounds like a really fun event! Wish we had more food trucks here in Louisville!
